I came to the same conclusion. I have a HP 970cxi in its box in the loft - it was cheaper to buy an epson R200 than get new ink for the HP.
My epson has had a slight blockage problem once which was cured by a single cleaning cycle.

I have no problems with compatible carts and they cost less than £1 each. The HP was much faster than the epson but as mentioned above I would never consider printing more than one or two photos myself. Online is easier cheaper and better. Ignoring Ink and time involved just buying the photo paper is expensive.

Think it is the r220 now as the 200 is obsolete - same carts though.
